Most people, once they have decided to turn their life around and leave all animal products out of their diet, are probably going to face some challenges. One of them can maybe be an addiction to eggs for breakfast. Sunnyside up, over easy, scrambled, in a sandwich or a burrito – most of us love eggs in any form they can come!
You are likely to discover the very versatile personality of tofu during your transition to a plant-based diet. You could use it as a meat replacement in all kinds of recipes like vegan bolognese, but tofu can be served for breakfast instead of eggs, too. In fact, it’s even healthier, lower in fat and cholesterol-free, so it’s a win-win!
